Windy City Gridiron

The 2024 NFL season is drawing nearer by the day, and the anticipation for Chicago Bears fans is growing rapidly. With training camp under way, much of the focus will be directed towards Chicago’s performance in the upcoming season, and rightfully so. It’s an exciting year in the team’s history, with several new key contributors and a new starting quarterback at the helm. That said, in the dog days of summer and the down period of the NFL offseason, I utilized the time to load up on notes for the 2025 NFL Draft. Part of developing in-depth draft analysis throughout the course of the year isn’t just how much you know about a handful of prospects; it’s also about how many prospects you know. From late-round selections to undrafted free agents, there are plenty of additions the Bears make that many people aren’t too familiar with. In order to make sure I can be that person who provides analysis on these under-the-radar prospects, I use the summer as a period to stock up my big board and watch as many players as I can.
